Chavez Jr (40-0-1, 30 KOs), of Culiacan, México, is the son of Mexico’s greatest fighter Julio César Chávez. Chávez, 24, took up the “family business” in 2003, winning a four-round decision in his professional debut. Seven years later, the reigning WBC Latino super welterweight champion and superior gate attraction is poised to make his own mark in the boxing world. In preparation he has enlisted legendary trainer Freddie Roach to take him to the next level. Last year Chávez, the WBC’s No. 1 super welterweight contender, won 10-round unanimous decisions over Luciano Cuello and Troy Rowland and stopped Jason LeHoullier in the first round. Making his 2009 achievements even more impressive was the fact that Chávez’s opponents had a combined record of 69-3-1 when he defeated them.
Duddy (29-1, 18 KOs), a native of Derry, Ireland who also resides in Queens, New York, has been a Madison Square Garden fan favorite and box office attraction for most of the last decade. He made his Texas debut on March 13 at Cowboys Stadium, winning a 10-round decision over Mexican super welterweight champion Michael Medina. The former WBC Continental Americas middleweight champion boasts a record that includes victories over former world champion Yory Boy Campas, former world title challenger Howard Eastman and rugged contenders Matt Vanda and Anthony Bonsante. Duddy is currently world-rated No. 8 by the WBC.
Morel (42-2, 21 KOs), of San Juan Puerto Rico, captured the WBA flyweight title in 2000, winning a 12-round decision over defending champion Sornpichai Pisnurachank. His three-year reign as champion included five successful defenses. Since losing the title, Morel has won nine of his last ten bouts, including two NABO junior bantamweight and one NABO bantamweight title fights. After elevating himself to becoming the WBO’s No. 1 bantamweight contender, “Little Hands of Steel” captured the WBO interim bantamweight title, winning a vicious 12-round split decision against the legendary two-division world champion Gerry Peñalosa in February.
Arce (53-6-1, 40 KOs), of Los Mochis, México, is one of México’s most colorful sports personalities attracting legions of fans from both sides of the border as much for his ring entrances as for his ring performances. He backs up his non-stop talk with non-stop action. A veteran of 15 world championship fights and eight interim world championship fights, winning 11 and all eight, respectively, it’s hard to find a year he hasn’t held a world title dating back to 1998 when he captured the WBO junior flyweight championship belt. He captured the vacant WBO junior bantamweight title in his last fight, in January, winning a technical decision over Angky Angkota. The fight was stopped in the seventh-round after an accidental clash of heads produced a severe cut over Angkota’s right eye. It went to the scorecards with Arce leading on all of them 60-54, 60-54 and 58-56.
Barrera (65-7, 43 KOs), of México City, is considered the greatest Méxican fighter of his era. With world title victories over Erik Morales (2), Naseem Hamed, Johnny Tapia, and Paulie Ayala, who could argue? He has won 21 of the 25 world championship fights winning multiple world titles at 122, 126 and 130 pounds. During a four-year stretch beginning in December 2000, Barrera fought nine current or former world champions in a row, winning eight of them. This will be “The Baby Face Assassin’s” first fight in the Lone Star State since his 2005 second-round knockout victory of Mzonke Fana, in defense of his WBC super featherweight title, in El Paso.
Sanchez (19-3-2, 9 KOs), from Tianguistenco, México, is the nephew and namesake of former WBC featherweight champion and Hall of Famer Salvador Sanchez. A professional for five years, Sanchez, 24, enters this fight riding a three-year, nine-bout winning streak. His last victory was in March in Cowboys Stadium, a six-round knockout of Jaime Villa.
Bag Boxing Gloves: Fists Of Fury
Apr 4th
Whether you’re in training or just like to mix a little boxing into your aerobic exercise, it’s essential to have the right equipment. Heavy bag boxing gloves are important because they protect you and your hands. With the right pair of gloves, you can get the most out of your training every time you them on.
Heavy bag gloves have to protect your hands, and there are several designs that enable them to do that. Leather gloves have been the best boxing gloves on the market for many years. The leather is soft and flexible to move with your hands and at the same time is also durable enough to withstand years of punching. The best leather boxing gloves also feature superior wrist grips to ensure that your gloves stay on and give you lots of support. With innovation, of course, design has changed to make sure your gloves perform at a high level. Those changes include new glove materials. Some gloves, for instance, use unique gel technology to help absorb the impact of the heavy bag as you’re punching. Many gloves also use mesh on the palm of the gloves to keep your hands dry.
It’s important to have the right youth boxing gear if kids are just starting. Kids’ boxing gloves come with extra padding for increased protection. The tough vinyl gloves also have an easy slip-on design rather than straps on the cuffs. There are also amateur style gloves that are the kind used by national amateur boxers. For women there are several styles of gloves as well. Women’s heavy bag gloves are much like men’s except they are contoured to best fit women’s hands.
Another style of specialized gloves is weighted heavy bag gloves. Weighted boxing gloves are best for adding another intense level to your workout. The leather design and contoured shape of the boxing gloves is much the same as regular gloves. The difference is that you can add specially-designed weights to your gloves to put extra power behind your punching. This method is one of the best ways to build up strength in your wrists and arms and to fight resistance during your training.
Boxing is a great pastime whether you’re a boxer or someone who enjoys the sport simply as exercise. Heavy bag boxing gloves are definitely one tool you need for your training. Men, women and kids alike can enjoy the strategy and exercise of boxing.
